Dozens of HealthTrust Workforce Solutions team members volunteered for the United Way of Broward County's Day of Caring today at the BB&T Center! This annual event supports the local community through packaging and distributing meals to families in need through Project Lifeline.

HealthTrust packaged 20,000 meals. In total the event packaged more than 300,000 meals for our community. 

Canned goods were also collected at the door and were donated to LifeNet4Families.

With the holiday season just around the corner we could not be more thankful and grateful for the holiday cheer all of the volunteers (especially our HWS team members!) will bring to families who do not know where they will get their next meal.

The latest BLS Economic Situation report revealed that the economy created a robust and unexpected 266,000 new jobs in November, with the healthcare sector once again leading the way contributing 45,200 jobs or nearly 17% of all job growth.

The unemployment rate dipped to 3.5%, the lowest since 1969. This was the largest increase seen in the last 10 months amid the longest economic expansion in U.S. which has lasted for 11 years.

This Thanksgiving, we would like to take a moment to demonstrate our gratitude and thank each of our clinical and corporate team members for your hard work and dedication to our organization over this past year.

We are proud that the HWS organization is made up of such great associates who work hard each day, creating both career opportunities for healthcare professionals and ensuring the delivery of patient care across the country.  We are all part of something so much bigger than our ourselves and the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others every day is something we all should be truly grateful for.
